Australia lead time in 2025 - order to delivery

[PalmCoveWagon]

Does anyone in Australia have any recent (2025 orders) lead time experiences to share? From order to build to delivery. My May order currently shows estimated December delivery - but nothing has updated yet - so it looks to be just a placeholder. Sales rep just says “will update when available”

When I ordered mine the dealer could tell me exactly when it was going in to production, when it came out, when it went to the docks and which ship it was on.
Other dealers were telling people they had no idea.
Mainly due to in large dealers they separate purchasing from sales and the two don't talk./

My order was later than DaveB's and it took a little while for that data to come through. I only found out when it was at the Port or just loaded on the ship.

Have you signed the contract yet? Signing happens leading up to production date (or did when I ordered in Feb 2023).

My order in 2022 was about 6 months before TheDocAUS order, and I received my Trialmaster about 3 months after TheDocAUS received his Ineos, so there was not a lot of logic back then, so I think the past is not much to go by, my dealer had very little information, but I was able to get information from the national helpline that went to a caravan at the back of a dealership in England where a young woman named Applemay if I remember correctly was very helpful.
If I remember correctly DaveB supplied the helpline contact number to the Ineos forum I used back then.

I have not yet signed the contract. Still waiting for that step.

For what it's worth I never signed a contract (US) after placing my order in late September of '23. At that time estimated delivery was 12-13 months (Q4 of '24).

After 6 months of no progress on the configurator showing "not in production" I started asking Ineos what was next, getting no information for 90 days I got a call from my dealer in late June informing me my Trialmaster on a boat and was due to arrive in late July with nothing but my initial order online.

Two weeks later the boat was in port at Tacoma, Washington and 2 weeks after that it was at my dealership in Portland, Oregon.

Thanks for sharing. Despite my US profile I’m actually buying it in Australia because it’s a better fit for my lifestyle and location there. They’re still working on the agency model so I believe I’ll sign a contract directly with ineos Australia. That said my rep hasn’t really confirmed when the vehicle will go into production or arrive in Australia. I’m hoping December but that may be looking optimistic.
Oregon is a great place for this vehicle. My son is a senior at University of Oregon in Eugene. How do you like yours? Any issues?

I love my Grenadier and have had zero issues. I do not drive it often (yet) as my daily is a company car I am in for another 4 months until I retire in September at which time it will become a near daily driver. It was built a year ago this month so it seems I avoided the earlier production issues.

I live in northern California but when I took delivery a local dealer had not materialized, so it was either Portland or SoCal and never will I ever go to Los Angeles unless I absolutely have to.

The Grenadier dealer in Portland is also the oldest Ferrari store in the US so that was fun. I flew up later in the day and literally didn't even go in the store. The paperwork was already done and the F&I guy who was my sakesman had me sign for the delivery and off I went.

I spent the rest of the afternoon winding my way around Portland on back roads i for a couple hundred miles in case I had a problem varying the speed and keeping the RPM down. I intentionally overnighted close enoght away to tow the thing back if I had issues.

I began the second day the way I spent the first, on back roads keeping the speed down for the first 500 miles, only finding my way on to the freeway on day three (Portland is only a 590 mile, 9 hour drive if you want it to be). But like any good first date this one lasted 3 days.
